Willow Springs Trail is a dirt road leading into Arches National Park from Highway 191. It is 12 miles north of Moab between mile-markers 138 and 139. It is clearly marked from both North and South directions. I was lucky enough to get the exact boondocking site I scouted out...
Normally, due to my lifestyle living out of populated areas, I go years between illnesses. Ironic that after my first time visiting a public watering hole in months, I wake up the next morning with my sinuses (is that the correct spelling?) all clogged up and a deeper-than-normal voice. I...
Last night I did something I rarely do; go to a bar. I’m not much of a drinker, an not the most sociable guy, but when a musician invites you to see his show, you do not turn it down, so I played hooky from work and hit the bar...
I thought I was going to sit around and do nothing all day, but an open invitation to go on a hike with another guy here at the Lazy Lizard gave me the right excuse to get off my ass and do something. It helped that the hike was up...
My time here was up at the end of this past weekend, but when it came down to it, I just couldn’t think of another place to go that beat out the Lazy Lizard. It doesn’t help that I am waiting for Conor to arrive next week and I do...

There was a storm system rolling through the area these past few days. It was nothing major, but I didn’t feel like spending multiple days in them desert mud without the sun to recharge my batteries, so I returned to the Lazy Lizard Hostel where I at least had a...
Make no mistake, I am not under some delusion that the general public, average Joe (or Jane), care what I have to say. I do not pretend to be funny, informative, or even worthy of reading. I lack the education and certainly the skills of proper writing. My 8th grade...
I’m not sure why it was a smart idea to mountain bike two days in a row. And to top it off, this trail would extend my further ride record to 9.8 miles.My original plan was to take the ‘Dino-Flow’ trail out and return on the ‘EKG’ trail. That was...
The past few days have been rough on my body. After mountain biking on Wednesday (for my second time in two years) I decided to stay out in the desert north of Moab to save myself the same drive again in the morning. I was planning to drive a few...
